- "When we're talking about systems, it's like a box of chocolates, as Forest Gump would say. You just never know what you're gonna get." - Brandon Ward
- "No system is built the same, and no system is perfect. But, what you're looking for is a system that matches up with the way you want to do business and your asset or your data" - Brandon Ward
- "It [back office] needs to be efficient so that the productivity can be high. When you have that, you can be efficient with less if you're streamlined. Those things will save you time and money, and you won't have to lean on so much manpower." - Mike Gibson
